## Compatibility
Some users have imported existing wikis from other software. This is made possible because Pepperminty Wiki will automatically rebuild the page index from the existing files in a directory if the page index (`pageindex.json`) doesn't exist or is deleted.
Notes about the import process are detailed below.
- Pepperminty Wiki's internal and external link syntax is [compatible with vimwiki](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/issues/new) (thanks @RyanGreenup!).
If you encounter any issues importing data from another wiki, please [open an issue](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/issues/new). I'd love to know about it - it may be possible to automate any conversion steps to ease the import process.
## Features FAQ
A few features that users request that aren't obvious on how to use or enable are documented here.
### How do I add a "create new page" button?
Since version v0.23, Pepperminty Wiki has API support for creating a new page without knowing it's name - see issue [#194](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/issues/194). While a create new page button isn'tin the user interface by default, one may be added as a navigation link to either the [`nav_links`](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/peppermint-config-info.php#config_nav_links), [`nav_links_extra`](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/peppermint-config-info.php#config_nav_links_extra), or [`nav_links_bottom`](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/peppermint-config-info.php#config_nav_links_bottom) configuration directives in `peppermint.json` (these must be edited directly - GUI support for these properties hasn't been implemented yet). An example navigation link to send a user to create a new page might look like this:
```json
[
"+",
"index.php?action=edit&unknownpagename=yes"
]
```
See the [`nav_links` documentation for more information on the wider navigation link syntax](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/peppermint-config-info.php#config_nav_links).
### What's this about manual setup for the sitemap?
If the `page-sitemap` module is enabled, Pepperminty Wiki will have support for generating an XML sitemap. However, since a sitemap is typically located at the root of your domain with the filename `sitemap.xml`, crawlers must be instructed as to where they can find the sitemap for your wiki. This can be done by editing (creating if it doesn't exist) a file called `robots.txt` _at the top-level root of your domain name_, and appending something like the following:
```
Sitemap: http://wiki.example.com/path/to/index.php?action=sitemap
```
This will properly instruct crawlers on where to find the sitemap.
If you know of a way to do this via a `<meta />` tag or HTTP header instead, please [open an issue](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/issues/new) so that this extra manual step can be removed.
